Advantages: very nice taste, excellent value for money

Disadvantages: none

Oban double matured West Highland single malt Scotch whisky. This Western Highland style of malt is epitomised by Oban's gentle sweetness and suprising richness of palate and finish. To underline its sea-laced flavours, Oban's Master Distiller has chosen Montilla Fino. This dry,delicate cask-wood beautifully enhances Oban's distinctively graceful style.

Cask-wood Finish: Montilla Fino The light, dry fragrance of Montilla Fino from Andalusia made its cask-wood a natural complement to the warm fullness of Oban's rich flavours.

Tasting Notes: Oban's West Highland origins speak loudly in an outstanding fruity and pungent sea-breeze of a nose. Sweeter than usual on the palate, rich fruit flavours are nonetheless complemented by a typical briny character. The finish is long with the influence of Montilla Fino cask-wood. A whisky of the very highest order.

Hmmm Oban.... not my favourite, perhaps, but still a worthy contender. Good first op on one of my favourite subjects (as you will nae doubt realise when you read the other opinions posted onwhisky on DooYoo..).
